I saw him live many years ago, he kept us waiting for over two hours and then played for 45 minutes and left without encore. A few years later I befriended a roadie on this European tour (and others) who told me Lou Reed behaved like a primadonna.

The Morrison, Hendrix, Janis rolling about on the stage in an undignified melee sounds ridiculous, like someone trying to make up an over- dramatic story involving the 3 iconic members of the so-called 27 club who died within 10 months of each other.
Yeah it came from a book. I agree with you. I always thought that was bullshit. They may have all been in the same club but I can’t picture Jim with his arms around Hendrix’s legs screaming “ I wanna suck your cock!!!” See, that how books “ writers “ make crap up. And that is exactly what it said in the book. Janis hit him with another bottle blah blah blah come on. I used to read all the Doors / Jim Morrison book back in the early 90s. All of them. And they’re still coming out with them same old shit same old stories. I guess people have to make a live in somehow.
Sam Andrew: I didn’t actually see Morrison kneeling down in from of Jimi, but Janis had this real righteous sense of when someone was taking advantage of someone else, or trying to steal the show, which Morrison was. She would become like a schoolteacher all of a sudden, and felt she had to step in to teach someone how to behave. Danny Fields: Janis stepped in and hit Jim over the head with the bottle, then she poured her drink over him. The three of them started grabbing and rolling all over the floor in a writhing heap of hysteria. I swear there was, like, fur flying, like a cloud of dust around them, as if they were in a dry river bed. They were in a tangle of broken glass, dust and guitars. A lot of dust and feathers and leathers and satins went flying around. Sam Andrew: I think Janis was just trying to tell him to stop being an ass. If he’d got up and sang a song, that’d have been fine, but we were there to listen to Jimi and he was stopping us from enjoying it. Danny Fields: Naturally it ended up in all three of them being carried out. Morrison was the most-seriously hurt." Louder Sound: What Happened When Jimi Hendrix Jammed With Jim Morrison
Considering Hendrix was a former U.S. Army paratrooper who got honorably discharged for an on-duty mishap, the fact that Hendrix was utilized to be trained killer in the military, I don't think it would've been a very wise, smart move for Morrison to pick a fight with a man who could probably kick his ass pretty badly within a few minutes if he truly wanted to. Same logic goes for Garcia, too. Most Dead heads will tell you before he arrived back in the Bay Area to form an early version of Warlocks (which became the Grateful Dead), Garcia spent some time in the Army and I'm pretty sure his Army training came in pretty handy if some people wanted to cause trouble.
@@davidroberts7282 You're right... I think Jimi Hendrix, (if he so felt inclined)... could have smacked Morrison's skinny white ass, three shades of black and blue!
@@strikerorwell9232 That's because he was either zonked out on lsd or alcohol all the time. Dude couldn't deal with life straight on so he had to keep stoned all the time.
Holy shit, is anything in this video true? Densmore didn't skip the funeral, Jim was buried before they knew he was dead. Ray didn't attend the funeral. The funeral was done quickly with only a few people in attendance. The Doors' manager was only member of Door's inner circle who attended.
I’m a fan of the music that comes thru my speakers by the doors but not impressed by anything Jim Morrison did on stage because I wasn’t born yet and never got to see the Doors perform live in concert. From RUclips videos I’ve watched and the movie Oliver Stone did it looks like he was singing drunk which I’m not a fan of at all.
you don't know shit about this whole thing, it's all a fabrication so don't get your little panties in the crease of your ass kid.. it's not worth it to stick up for a scumbag who probably didn't even die. The Doors were a product of something you don't understand you don't know who the inner circle was whatsoever.
@@bouncekarreera7614 lol Krieger literally confirmed that he did. Manson met a lot of musicians from that era. His band "the milky way" did the same show with canned heat. And Neil Young Gifted him a motorcycle.
Yes he did. They hung out at the Topanga Corral with many other musicians and that place is what Roadhouse Blues is about. But almost everything else in the video is horse manure. Calling Manson a serial killer is another truly ignorant part of this shite video. The serial killer was Tex Watson.
She did make a point, not letting Jim playing the mickey with her. I am a big fan of Jim and the Doors, stil l can see what drugs and booze did, to his complex personality.
The Charles Manson part is WRONG !Dennis Wilson became enamored with Manson after picking him up hitchhiking even using one of his songs on a Beach Boys album and moved the whole Manson family in his house .Jim Morrison had no dealing s with Manson they might of crossed paths but Wilson became seduced with Manson and tried talking Terry Melcher into producing him .How the narrator puts Morrison involved is BS .
I was head over heels into Jim before even reaching puberty and also long after he died. He was magnetic, witty, mesmerizing until either alcohol, his ego or both destroyed him. Still his legacy is huge. RIP!
I attended a Ray Manzarek sign in for his book in the early 2000s I think it was and Ray said when Jim wasn't drunk he was the nicest guy you'd ever meet. Unfortunately alcohol took over more and more as he aged.
He was an alcoholic. I’m a recovering alcoholic. He was also a genius. Very smart. Very high IQ. There is a fine line between genius and insanity. Jim walked that line. RIP Jim. There still talking about you 53 years after your death. And probably always will. So you did something right. 👍🤔
There's no such thing as "alcoholic" any more than there's a "cokeaholic". It's not a disease, it's an addiction, same with any other - heroin, weed, tv, junk food, sex, etc. It's easier to defeat addiction by knowing what it is rather than calling it a genetic flaw which is a crutch and gives it more power than it should have.
Frank Zappa didn't hate Morrison. His wife actually knew him growing up. He didn't like some of the commercial promotions for the Doors. Found it in poor taste.
Jerry Garcia wasn't in a place to be a music critic. The Dead sucked balls. That's why all their fans were constantly stoned. Anyone who's sober and half bright knows that noise is a dumpster fire.
The day he died, a USA national TV network interviewed some of his and the band's fans. A female fan said they'd all just rip each other off for drugs, or money to buy drugs - methamphetamine, mostly, by that time - then argue with each other about it all through the concert. I resided in Scam Francisco for years and was surrounded by a horde of very despicable Deadhead liars, ripoffs, and drug fiends. The males would run around town scamming and cheating whoever they could - their own (non-Deadhead) friends and acquaintances, mostly - for drugs, or money to buy drugs - then the female amateur drug whore Deadheads would spread their legs for whichever male Deadheads had managed to wind up with the biggest bags of the stuff.
Yeah, that’s why they are still making more money than any other band of that era. Still getting new converts still selling albums. Still filling venues. They have also spawned a whole musical genre. The jam band thing that’s them. It’s the black licorice thing. May not be your thing but… I can see why you would think they suck. :)
@markthatcher6844 yeah, just my opinion, but they definitely appeal mostly to stoners. I tried to like them in the 90s but other than a few songs, I think it's noise. My comment was more about Garcia criticizing the Doors who are in my opinion far better.
And hardly anyone noticed then and now that Morrison's father was directly involved in the Gulf of Tonkin Lie which blew up the Vietnam conflict into a major War
His father was an admiral but if you want to point fingers about The Gulf of Tonkin incident it was John McNamara who lied about the entire incident which never happened!! The North Vietnamese never fired upon American ships! It was a false flag operation to give America an excuse to go to war with Vietnamese! Morrison’s dad was just following orders!!!
Man… As a teenager and early twenty something, I was infatuated an in awe of Morrison. I wanted to be him in the worst way for years and years. That was my very naive self. I still miss the heady days of “fan worship,” oh so long ago. Jim died just four days after I was born. I still enjoy watching/listening to the occasional videos and songs. RIP Jim. Hope your soul is repaired.
I was in awe of Jim since I was 11 years old, when the Doors first came out, but I always sensed he was a guy to admire FROM A DISTANCE. I always wished I had SOME of his free spirit, but Jim had too much of it.
This is poorly researched (if at all), poorly written, poorly narrated drivel. Full of inaccuracies and BS stories. Won't be watching anything else from this channel, clearly.
He had an alcohol problem. This how people act when they drink too much. Very simple. If you poured that much alcohol into any other person they would behave in the same way.
"Janis Joplin smashed a bottle of Southern Comfort over his head." What s bunch of B.S. Do you have any idea how hard you would need to hit someone with that bottle to smash it? And how much damage it would do to a human beings head? Sounds like a Hellywood script to me.
His doors’ bandmates detested Morrison the last couple of years . There was hardly grief at his death, more like an expectation as it was long overdue. They only started to mythologize him in the 80’s because the deification of him was making them money. There was one interview, that you can find online with Robby Kreiger with an LA radio station in the early 80’s, where he plainly stated that he and his bandmates hated Morrison the last 2 years because he was always drunk and basically an asshole. Once the Doors renaissance really took off, and they started cashing in, they changed their tune that he a great but misunderstood soul. Manazarek was masterful at shovelling the bullshit about Morrison to make a buck.
I think they all loved Jim as a brother and bandmember but if you know a drug addict or an alcoholic (or someone who's both) it's so hard to be around them that your love for them can be turned into disdain and frustration. The real Jim (when he was sober) was known to be shy, incredibly well-read, insightful and quite charismatic. I think the band really wanted to remember him in a positive light even if their final years with him were turbulent, unpredictable and sometimes sour. They still came together for a fun, creatively-stimulating and intimate recording session for L.A. Woman and I think their final work as a band was a very "equal" and collaborative product that they were all really proud of. To try and frame the group as money-grubbing two-faced worms for "hating" Jim and then "using his image for money" is a really narrow-minded and incorrect way of wording what was probably an incredibly complicated situation with far more factors than you'd ever understand.
@MrMortadella1 what they don't say is Jim caught them selling out to advertising companies behind his back so he left the band , he did them a favor to see out contracts last two albums...he had other fish to fry ...sorry but the albums after he died using his name the Doors were absolutely SHITE.
@SmallvillenerdTwo I don't disagree with you on the vain attempts to make perfect interpretations of the aftermath of JDMs death but I think it is necessary to attempt to get more plausible and realistic versions of the man who attracts so much attention to this day into the light, because I think the un- mythologised Jim is more weighty and interesting . The last year or so before the recording of LA Woman the atmospheric poetry ensembles were completely different and mature beyond comparison to the pop chart Touch Me nonsense . They had drifted apart and Jim remember hadn't even started his real career, The Doors were just a young mans' dream become manifest but it was over....if only he was as capable in his personal life as fortune gave to the music. He was only a child in the relationship game , jeez I am now 60 and when I look back to all my contemporaries at 27 plus their drink and drugs they would all be labeled...Jim may only have been drinking heavily in the unhappiness of those few years we will never know.
Jim was a allegedly a victim of childhood sexual abuse, and his addiction and other dysfunctional behavior are most likely a direct result...Jim's mother supposedly didn;t believe him when he told her about the abuse
And everyone in the scene hated Crosby. But it makes sense. They were both among the many sons and daughters of high ranking military and CIA officers who were injected into the arts and music scene to cause chaos and make it unstable and make it easier to dismiss by the mass public.
What no one ever talks about with Jim Morrison is , he was extremely intelligent. He had an IQ up with James Woods . He was a deep thinker, intellectual and had a hard time dealing with the thoughts that plagued him . RIP Morrison 🎸
Dude's dad was USNavy Admiral Tommy Morrison who kicked off the Vietnam conflict with the Gulf of Tonkin psyop. Could have been conflicted by that or...could just have been a drunken ass.
This is all completely inaccurate. Sure a lot of less successful rock stars were jealous of his immense talent and intellect. That’s just what the industry is like.
@MartinMeshia Actually, they have played at the same arena in 1969. Yes, Alice Cooper and John Lennon performed together at the 1969 Toronto Rock and Roll Revival music festival in Toronto, Ontario, Canada: The festival The Toronto Rock and Roll Revival was a rock and pop music festival that took place on September 13, 1969. Other performers at the festival included: Yoko Ono The Doors Chuck Berry Jerry Lee Lewis Little Richard
It seems like Morrison was in drunk and wasted black-out mode all the time and genuinely didn't recall the faux-pas he'd recently committed. From Jim's astrological natal chart: Venus 0* Scorpio: "A wounded man lies at the feet of an armed warrior beside a chest brimming with jewels." (Janduz version) Foolhardy, combative, and intransigent character. One does not hesitate to get involved in conflicts, no matter how dangerous they might be. There is a strong probability of violence and accident, whether one is the perpetrator or the victim. (astrotheme) It's tragic, really. I like Jim but I can see what a handful he was for people who actually had to be around him.
2:26 No, not quite true. Ray Manzarek wrote a novel in 2001 called “The Poet In Exile” that imagined Jim Morrison faking his death, and then living a quiet, low-key life with a wife and children in the Seychelles Islands. Ray Manzarek made it pretty clear to fans that this was a work of fiction, and that he wrote it as a way getting closure on the death of his friend.
Oh come on friend you have to be aware of some of Frank's lyrics lmao. Do you really need examples? Btw I am a big fan of his, just saw his son Dweezil playing his dad's music a couple months ago.
".... from that point on it's unknown if that was the last interaction between the two but Wilson hasn't spoke about Morrison ever since." The fact that Dennis Wilson has been dead since 1983 probably has something to do with it.
In spite of all of this no less a personage than Oliver Stone saw fit to make a film about the Doors since they had a mystique which was unmatchable even if Morrison, the navy brat whose father the admiral pretty much started the War in Vietnam single-handedly as local commander of the Gulf of Tonkin incident, occupies a special place in the Valhalla of overdosed rock stars. And then of course there weren’t many other musicians who could match his intellect or educational credentials having made it through UCLA film school not to mention having a genius IQ. But he became a drunk, which is guaranteed to be super-alienating to any normal sober person.
His fellow rock stars who are highlighted here were into drinking and drugs too except for Frank Zappa. Janis and Lou were even on heroine like Jim. There was more going on with Jim though and it was like he was operating in black-out mode much of the time.
@@websurfer5772 I read Nobody Here Gets Out Alive and there’s no doubt that he was super fucked up to the nth degree. But I’m an alcoholic too so there’s a sort of inevitability to all of that. Although heroin is less toxic in some ways than alcohol it’s too easy to over-dose.
@@marcmeinzer8859 I read _Nobody Here Gets Out Alive_ too, a long time ago. I remember liking it. That's interesting about heroin VS alcohol. I'm in so much pain every day I wish I could drink and use heroin now but my body can't handle any of that at all. I can't do pharma either though and I think the former is better for most people than the latter. At least I have the green. One thing about that is I can't OD on it no matter how hard I try.
Uh, you got the Manson / Dennis Wilson thing mixed up. Dennis was completely into Manson. He thought he was the next big thing and tried to promote him. I don’t ever remember reading that Jim Morrison was involved. He may have been, but Dennis was the guy who was Manson’s buddy
Thought this part was off as well. Like, didnt Dennis loan Manson a car and let him stay at one of his home's? Hell the Beach Boys recorded a Manson song or two.
Jim Morrison, and The Doors, were on the bleeding edge of popular American music. Other popular contemporary bands could make bigger chart hits, but in the end, served corporate interests, safe and predictable, or theatrical. The haters were threatened, defeated. Hendrix understood this and played on, admirable.
@pulsarlights2825 not a theory, there's a documentary about it and people that were there that night witnessed the whole thing, people that knew him personally. If you want to believe the beautiful, romantic and peaceful way he died like in the movie than be my guess. Truth is Jim became just another junkie at the end and met his maker just like any other junkie, No disrespect to Jim, RIP
@@dirkdiggler2430 Is there hard evidence to backup that narrative or is is just hearsay? I don't care what Jim did or did not do. Just because there was a documentary it doesn't mean it's fact. It might be true, but it also might not, it was 53 years ago..
I have my own theory: In the days/weeks before his death, Jim was having bouts of severe hiccups, and had coughed up blood. Alcohol causes acid in the stomach. Acid leads to stomach ulcers and to acid reflux. Acid reflux causes hiccups. In one account I read in one of the biographies, Jim was taken from the bar, unconscious, to the apartment. He was put in the tub, and Pam tended to him. Jim vomited blood several times, and Pam kept changing the water. I believe Jim died from blood loss and/or trauma due to a ruptured stomach ulcer. I'm not ruling out that heroin may have played a role, but I believe alcohol, leading to ulcers, is the main culprit. Maybe heroin alleviated the pain, keeping him from calling an ambulance.
@@johnstorton Jim abused himself to the point he had major health issues at only 27. I wonder what his blood pressure was in the weeks before his death....
In an interview with Grace Slick , the member of the Jefferson Airplane said that they were doing an outdoor music festival in Amsterdam and when out and about walking the streets that people would come up to them and give them all sorts of substances. She said that the difference between thenn the members of the Airplane and Jim Morrison is that they would just take a liittle bit of what they were given but Morrison would ingest it all!
but his feet did touch the earth. maybe he was disappointed as such, believing he was stained. idk. something spiritual was definitely guiding him, but that's not always a beacon of light. there have been many who fell by the wayside listening to destructive other-worldly voices.
Janis knocking him out twice with a bottle was amusing. JM was often an idiot for sure but when you get that much adulation and attention so young it has the potential to be toxic. Sad for him he never got to mature as a person and artist but he remains one of the most enigmatic and charismatic figures in rock history.
You know everyone’s quick too hate on and take down people like Jim Morrison and other musicians who were “self-destructive “but I rarely find people putting these icons behavior into the context of the times. The 60s was a very intense volatile period. A lot of people started off with hope and optimism that we could really get together and change things just with the power of love and community and creativity only to see the entire thing crumble before them. You can sit there blaming the drugs and the counterculture and whatever but the truth is the powers that be had a very strong and coordinated effort to stop any of those things from happening. they started the decade off with a liberal president who showed great promise in bringing about real change and then watched as Our government blew his head off in front of everybody and then proceeded to murder his brother several years later also in front of everyone. They invented a fake incident to start an unjust war which sent thousands of young American men(and even more Vietnamese) unwillingly to their deaths. Then they elected one of the most evil vicious people to the presidency who went on to use the issue of drugs to criminalize and murder any group that was trying to bring about social change, marking a new era of conservatism, violence and corporate greed. Could these figures “self-destructive behavior “ not be a sign of the spirit that was slowly dying?!?
In the early 1990s I was running recovery groups in Hollywood, CA. In one of the groups was an actor who was under contract with Disney. He knew Jim Morrison. He said that Morrison was a train wreck waiting to happen. When he said that Morrison died he said he had expected it. He was an emotional and psychological mess.
As much as people saw what was a difficult person on the outside, he must have been really hurting on the inside to drink and drug that much. It seems to me Jim self medicated as a way to get relief. Sad story.
Who knows but if the rumors are true that he got sexually molested when he was a kid it would explain a lot & it didn't help that his own father pretty much said he can't sing & he's trash
@David music is subjective and no it’s not too bad that I know what I like. What kind of person takes the time to tell someone they are wrong about what should or shouldn’t be their favorite music? Hopefully as you get a little older and mature you will find some wisdom
Not many people are aware that shortly before he died, Jim Morrison was involved in starting a beginners driving school based upon the time tested techniques of Neil Cassady.
Check your Dennis Wilson facts. He LOVED Charles Manson so much so that the Manson family lived in his house. Wilson also took one of his songs. He talked about Manson like a poet guru to everyone he knew.
Jimmy Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin all rolling together on the floor of the same stage unable to get up is eerily prophetic and poetic...that's IF....it really happened. Is there footage of this?
I love the Doors, Jim sang like an angry Frank Sinatra. Great stuff. Too bad Jim was so messed up on drugs and alcohol but that was more acceptable back in those days. Today it wouldn't go over well.
"So there I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopowner and his son... that's a different story altogether. I had to beat them to death with their own shoes. Nasty business, really. But, sure enough, I got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show. " -Del Preston 😂
Aside from the guys in his band, it seems most musicians didn't have many good things to say about him. Alcohol had his demons. Heroin had his death knoll. Sad story for a talented guy...
In the case of Dennis Wilson, even though he had a similar "passive/aggressive", rebellious personality to Jim, he had it drilled into his head by his dad, Murry from a young teen, just like the Gibbs, the Jacksons, and the Osmonds father, to have respect for the fans who pay good money to see him perform. So when Dennis saw Jim disrespect the fans. it must have triggered those lessons and his dad came out on Morrison!
Morrison was just another egotistical celeb. They're all that way, pretty much. The only variation is how well they manage to hide it and/or how well the media covers it up for them.
The part about Morrison and Manson? They never met. Maybe appeared in a book somewhere. Also, Janis didn’t use the bottle of Southern Comfort at the Scene Club. Jim jumped off stage into the front row where Janis was sitting. She said “if only that mofo could sing, I wouldn’t mind”.
Nicholas Shreck, (He has a channel) developed a friendship with Manson, while Manson was incarcerated for the Tate Bianca/Bianca killings. Manson told Shreck that he new Morrison. Also making some very unusual claims about Morrison. Now I wasn't there a but Manson had quite a few friends in the music scene. Jimmy Dore did a vid on this recently, regarding Manson's acquaintances in the 60s music scene. Again, I'm just repeating what I've read but it was very easy at that time for people to hang out with people in that scene. In fact as a result of the Manson murders the celebs closed off from the plebs, fearing for their lives. There are a lot of varying perspective on this whole thing but it is an interesting topic.
Really wish Pamela Courson/Morrison would have gotten things together enough, lived long enough, to dispel all the rumors, and tell her side of the story of what happened. She was in that apartment, for those last few hours of Mr. Morrison’s life, to know what really happened. Whether it was only those two, in that apartment, don’t know. Or whether he was brought there, on death’s door, from the Rock n’ Roll Circus club, don’t know. Sadly, in the time of need, Ms. Morrison was the last person to take charge. She could barely take care of herself, let alone Jim. My guess is, in her later years, she was so unhealthy, so distraught with guilt, that even if she wrote that definitive account, of what went happened, probably nobody would have believed her anyway. There is not even much definitive accounts of her own last few months, of her life. She took everything with her, to her own grave. I guess, there are some questions that are never meant to be answered. Maybe instead of rumors, and guessing, let them both spend eternity in peace?

Not to mention the robotic AI "narrator" voice. I can't even listen to the whole thing.
@@MomLAU I thought it was actually a real person. Holy moly.
His whole life was a falsehood
He seems like a person easier to admire from a distance rather than be close to
Morrison never met Manson
Right, and it was Wilson who befriended Charlie. AI got that all back assward.
@@bouncekarreera7614 lol Krieger literally confirmed that he did. Manson met a lot of musicians from that era. His band "the milky way" did the same show with canned heat. And Neil Young Gifted him a motorcycle.
@@RoRo-vr6wxWhen/where did Robbie say this?
Yes he did. They hung out at the Topanga Corral with many other musicians and that place is what Roadhouse Blues is about.
But almost everything else in the video is horse manure. Calling Manson a serial killer is another truly ignorant part of this shite video. The serial killer was Tex Watson.
One thing I learned is that it wasn't wise to piss off Janis Joplin if there was a liquor bottle around.
She did make a point, not letting Jim playing the mickey with her. I am a big fan of Jim and the Doors, stil l can see what drugs and booze did, to his complex personality.
That’s true.
Go Janis!!!!❤
Hilarious🤣
The Charles Manson part is WRONG !Dennis Wilson became enamored with Manson after picking him up hitchhiking even using one of his songs on a Beach Boys album and moved the whole Manson family in his house .Jim Morrison had no dealing s with Manson they might of crossed paths but Wilson became seduced with Manson and tried talking Terry Melcher into producing him .How the narrator puts Morrison involved is BS .
Jim was way too smart to hang out with Manson. C’mon.
@@seagullpoet They both love Crowley , Fact
@@deanl0 and Macca may be Crowley's son as per Memoirs
I was head over heels into Jim before even reaching puberty and also long after he died. He was magnetic, witty, mesmerizing until either alcohol, his ego or both destroyed him. Still his legacy is huge. RIP!

Genius and alcoholism often ( but not always ) go together

@@gordonely3591 It's because great intelligence and sensitivity can make one very vulnerable.
Zappa rarely ever said anything good about other musicians , unless they were hired by him to be in his band.
Morrison was NOT a musician. He didn't know the first thing about music, kiddo!
Zappa’s wife Gail grew up with him. She got pissed at him once and hit him on the head.
Yes, Zappa didn't seem like a very nice guy.
@jeffknight2907 I found his giving everything ridiculous names was hokey
Think he probably did, in order to sing... 🤦🏻♂️
You got it backwards. Dennis Wilson was friends with Manson.
That's what I thought it was Dennis Wilson who was friends with Manson
the whole part about Dennis Wilson, Morrisson and Charles Manson seems way off
That's what I always heard.
He got many things wrong
As Jim would say, "eat me".
Not surprised, but I'd listen to the Doors any day over the Dead.
I'm with you on that. The Dead were the most overrated band ever. Also the most boring.
Tough choice between garbage and puke.

@@thejman8734 Jim was extremely intelligent, talented, poetic and beautiful. Wheres the joke ?

They never met. True

No one ever accused Jim Morrison of being a nice guy.
I attended a Ray Manzarek sign in for his book in the early 2000s I think it was and Ray said when Jim wasn't drunk he was the nicest guy you'd ever meet. Unfortunately alcohol took over more and more as he aged.
it is widely reported he was a total gentleman when he wasnt drunk out of his mind, which unfortunately became his normal at a certain point

He says that throughout the video. Annoying I know.
Morrison: "Dont u know who i am?"
Hendrix : "Yes i know but im jimi hendrix"
LMAO
I have an old bootleg recording of Hendrix recorded live in concert playing while Jim is acting like a fool shouting obscenities into the microphone.
Loved that!
My fav Morrison story.
He was an alcoholic. I’m a recovering alcoholic. He was also a genius. Very smart. Very high IQ. There is a fine line between genius and insanity. Jim walked that line. RIP Jim. There still talking about you 53 years after your death. And probably always will. So you did something right. 👍🤔
There's no such thing as "alcoholic" any more than there's a "cokeaholic". It's not a disease, it's an addiction, same with any other - heroin, weed, tv, junk food, sex, etc. It's easier to defeat addiction by knowing what it is rather than calling it a genetic flaw which is a crutch and gives it more power than it should have.
I see no evidence of genius.
Gregory's,
can't hear with your eyes..🤷🏼
IQ 160
At least his bio pic wasn't as Disney as poor Freddy's was.
Frank Zappa didn't hate Morrison. His wife actually knew him growing up. He didn't like some of the commercial promotions for the Doors. Found it in poor taste.
😂
Janis clearly had the best strategy for interacting with Morrison. Simple. 🤣
To say he copied Jagger ? That a joke.
Morrison is the one who made black leather pants cool, not Jagger @@seagullpoet
Jerry Garcia wasn't in a place to be a music critic. The Dead sucked balls. That's why all their fans were constantly stoned. Anyone who's sober and half bright knows that noise is a dumpster fire.
You got that right!
Mabey, but Garcia wasn't a gay assidiot 🎉like Morrison
The day he died, a USA national TV network interviewed some of his and the band's fans. A female fan said they'd all just rip each other off for drugs, or money to buy drugs - methamphetamine, mostly, by that time - then argue with each other about it all through the concert. I resided in Scam Francisco for years and was surrounded by a horde of very despicable Deadhead liars, ripoffs, and drug fiends. The males would run around town scamming and cheating whoever they could - their own (non-Deadhead) friends and acquaintances, mostly - for drugs, or money to buy drugs - then the female amateur drug whore Deadheads would spread their legs for whichever male Deadheads had managed to wind up with the biggest bags of the stuff.
Yeah, that’s why they are still making more money than any other band of that era. Still getting new converts still selling albums. Still filling venues. They have also spawned a whole musical genre. The jam band thing that’s them. It’s the black licorice thing. May not be your thing but… I can see why you would think they suck. :)
@markthatcher6844 yeah, just my opinion, but they definitely appeal mostly to stoners. I tried to like them in the 90s but other than a few songs, I think it's noise. My comment was more about Garcia criticizing the Doors who are in my opinion far better.
And hardly anyone noticed then and now that Morrison's father was directly involved in the Gulf of Tonkin Lie which blew up the Vietnam conflict into a major War
right. he was the one of the HIGHEST RANKING navy officials!
His father was an admiral but if you want to point fingers about The Gulf of Tonkin incident it was John McNamara who lied about the entire incident which never happened!! The North Vietnamese never fired upon American ships! It was a false flag operation to give America an excuse to go to war with Vietnamese! Morrison’s dad was just following orders!!!
So what? Who cares about his father?
Laurel Canyon was a cia back yard
And? Are we supposed to like The Doors more or less because of this?
Who cares what 'Rock Stars' didn't like Morrison - There are PLENTY of Rock Stars that don't like THEM.
Man… As a teenager and early twenty something, I was infatuated an in awe of Morrison. I wanted to be him in the worst way for years and years. That was my very naive self. I still miss the heady days of “fan worship,” oh so long ago. Jim died just four days after I was born. I still enjoy watching/listening to the occasional videos and songs. RIP Jim. Hope your soul is repaired.
I was about the same way, except I knew he was only to be admired from a distance. I wanted SOME of his free spirit, but definitely not all of it.
Let me guess. You tripped a lot and didn't say no to drugs..
I did that too. Wasted youth.
I was in awe of Jim since I was 11 years old, when the Doors first came out, but I always sensed he was a guy to admire FROM A DISTANCE. I always wished I had SOME of his free spirit, but Jim had too much of it.
This is poorly researched (if at all), poorly written, poorly narrated drivel. Full of inaccuracies and BS stories. Won't be watching anything else from this channel, clearly.
It AI generated nonsense. It scans the internet for info, mixes it up and churns out this crap. There are so many on ThemTube these days.
He had an alcohol problem. This how people act when they drink too much. Very simple. If you poured that much alcohol into any other person they would behave in the same way.
he was a primary narcissist with a drinking hobby.
Plus mental probs@@SPINNINGMYWHEELS777
Correction - this is how narcissist behave when consuming alcohol
Not true. The alcohol removed his inhibitions and showed who he really was. He was a d*ck
Great voice is not a contract to become a asshole in the days before zero alcohol booze and phone cameras ect🎉
"Janis Joplin smashed a bottle of Southern Comfort over his head." What s bunch of B.S. Do you have any idea how hard you would need to hit someone with that bottle to smash it? And how much damage it would do to a human beings head? Sounds like a Hellywood script to me.
He had more charisma and wrote better songs then everyone of these people.
No he didn’t. Far from it.
Lol, he wrote lyrics, he didn't write songs. He didn't play any instruments. Also Robby alone wrote the biggest hits.
Amen
@@markthatcher6844 He is 100% more famous/best remembered. Anyone can name Doors songs. The others not so much.
@@christopherwood2290 LOL at how you view music 🤣🤣🤣
His doors’ bandmates detested Morrison the last couple of years . There was hardly grief at his death, more like an expectation as it was long overdue. They only started to mythologize him in the 80’s because the deification of him was making them money. There was one interview, that you can find online with Robby Kreiger with an LA radio station in the early 80’s, where he plainly stated that he and his bandmates hated Morrison the last 2 years because he was always drunk and basically an asshole. Once the Doors renaissance really took off, and they started cashing in, they changed their tune that he a great but misunderstood soul. Manazarek was masterful at shovelling the bullshit about Morrison to make a buck.
Agree with you , it was all about the money 💰, they hated morrison but lied later years bc they could still sell his legacy for millions of dollars 😢
I think they all loved Jim as a brother and bandmember but if you know a drug addict or an alcoholic (or someone who's both) it's so hard to be around them that your love for them can be turned into disdain and frustration. The real Jim (when he was sober) was known to be shy, incredibly well-read, insightful and quite charismatic. I think the band really wanted to remember him in a positive light even if their final years with him were turbulent, unpredictable and sometimes sour. They still came together for a fun, creatively-stimulating and intimate recording session for L.A. Woman and I think their final work as a band was a very "equal" and collaborative product that they were all really proud of.
To try and frame the group as money-grubbing two-faced worms for "hating" Jim and then "using his image for money" is a really narrow-minded and incorrect way of wording what was probably an incredibly complicated situation with far more factors than you'd ever understand.
@MrMortadella1 what they don't say is Jim caught them selling out to advertising companies behind his back so he left the band , he did them a favor to see out contracts last two albums...he had other fish to fry ...sorry but the albums after he died using his name the Doors were absolutely SHITE.
@SmallvillenerdTwo I don't disagree with you on the vain attempts to make perfect interpretations of the aftermath of JDMs death but I think it is necessary to attempt to get more plausible and realistic versions of the man who attracts so much attention to this day into the light, because I think the un- mythologised Jim is more weighty and interesting . The last year or so before the recording of LA Woman the atmospheric poetry ensembles were completely different and mature beyond comparison to the pop chart Touch Me nonsense . They had drifted apart and Jim remember hadn't even started his real career, The Doors were just a young mans' dream become manifest but it was over....if only he was as capable in his personal life as fortune gave to the music. He was only a child in the relationship game , jeez I am now 60 and when I look back to all my contemporaries at 27 plus their drink and drugs they would all be labeled...Jim may only have been drinking heavily in the unhappiness of those few years we will never know.
Should Lou Reed even be mentioned in the same breath as Jim ?
NO !!!!!!!
It’s like mentioning a Big Mac in the same sentence as a high end prime rib.
Yes
@ actually saw him 2 times and ummm NO 😂
That’s true.
Sounds like a bit of jealousy from his peers .
Looks like you're a fanboy... Fans and religious fanatics belong in the same latrine.
Sounds like AI making up nonsense to me.
Jim let his success go to his head. He was a pain in the ass to those around him and lacked humility. He was also a brilliant artist..
Lacked humility? Maybe on the stage, but he lived in a cheap motel unlike today’s stars
Jim was a allegedly a victim of childhood sexual abuse, and his addiction and other dysfunctional behavior are most likely a direct result...Jim's mother supposedly didn;t believe him when he told her about the abuse
David Crosby famously hated Jim Morrison
Yes I saw that documentary
Crosby was probably jealous of the Doors' success, like most haters.
And everyone in the scene hated Crosby.
But it makes sense. They were both among the many sons and daughters of high ranking military and CIA officers who were injected into the arts and music scene to cause chaos and make it unstable and make it easier to dismiss by the mass public.
He was probably jealous that the Doors were bigger than CSN. Also, there was no bigger druggy than David Crosby.
Crosby hated lots of people
What no one ever talks about with Jim Morrison is , he was extremely intelligent. He had an IQ up with James Woods . He was a deep thinker, intellectual and had a hard time dealing with the thoughts that plagued him . RIP Morrison 🎸
Sounds like Jim Morrison didn't like himself. Sad.
No, Jim was in love with himself, like all narcissists are.
He was a miserable alcoholic. Of course he hated himself
he should have been on this list as well then
Dude's dad was USNavy Admiral Tommy Morrison who kicked off the Vietnam conflict with the Gulf of Tonkin psyop. Could have been conflicted by that or...could just have been a drunken ass.
bitemarx
✅️✅️✅️🏆
This is all completely inaccurate. Sure a lot of less successful rock stars were jealous of his immense talent and intellect. That’s just what the industry is like.
It would have a been a much shorter list if it was about JM's contemporaries who actually liked him.
Alice Cooper knew Jim. He said he was surprised Morrison lived so long.
I remember Alice Cooper having a DJ session on the radio playing hit and telling stories. It was on just before Art Bell
@MartinMeshia They hung out in LA. I don't think they toured.
@MartinMeshiaAlice probably imagined touring with the doors during his blackout years
@MartinMeshia Actually, they have played at the same arena in 1969. Yes, Alice Cooper and John Lennon performed together at the 1969 Toronto Rock and Roll Revival music festival in Toronto, Ontario, Canada:
The festival
The Toronto Rock and Roll Revival was a rock and pop music festival that took place on September 13, 1969. Other performers at the festival included:
Yoko Ono
The Doors
Chuck Berry
Jerry Lee Lewis
Little Richard
@@coffermartin77 Performer...Yoko Ono
It seems like Morrison was in drunk and wasted black-out mode all the time and genuinely didn't recall the faux-pas he'd recently committed.
From Jim's astrological natal chart:
Venus 0* Scorpio:
"A wounded man lies at the feet of an armed warrior beside a chest brimming with jewels." (Janduz version)
Foolhardy, combative, and intransigent character. One does not hesitate to get involved in conflicts, no matter how dangerous they might be. There is a strong probability of violence and accident, whether one is the perpetrator or the victim. (astrotheme)
It's tragic, really. I like Jim but I can see what a handful he was for people who actually had to be around him.
Denis Wilson did not like Jim Morrison, but preferred the company of Charles Manson - LOL
2:26 No, not quite true. Ray Manzarek wrote a novel in 2001 called “The Poet In Exile” that imagined Jim Morrison faking his death, and then living a quiet, low-key life with a wife and children in the Seychelles Islands. Ray Manzarek made it pretty clear to fans that this was a work of fiction, and that he wrote it as a way getting closure on the death of his friend.
Frank Zappa shouldn’t talk about distasteful and obnoxious music
Your comment makes it clear that you shouldn't be talking about any kind of music!
Oh come on friend you have to be aware of some of Frank's lyrics lmao. Do you really need examples?
Btw I am a big fan of his, just saw his son Dweezil playing his dad's music a couple months ago.
He actually made sense lol
Frank Zappa had 1 chart topping hit and that was Valley Girls
Lmao
I love The Doors. And Jim. From all I've read he was a drunken bully.
People can say everything about him. People can say they don't like him or his art or songs or poems. But nobody can say he wasn't a GREAT on stage.
".... from that point on it's unknown if that was the last interaction between the two but Wilson hasn't spoke about Morrison ever since."
The fact that Dennis Wilson has been dead since 1983 probably has something to do with it.
The doors were still very moody and ominous . Jim pushed the limit
In spite of all of this no less a personage than Oliver Stone saw fit to make a film about the Doors since they had a mystique which was unmatchable even if Morrison, the navy brat whose father the admiral pretty much started the War in Vietnam single-handedly as local commander of the Gulf of Tonkin incident, occupies a special place in the Valhalla of overdosed rock stars. And then of course there weren’t many other musicians who could match his intellect or educational credentials having made it through UCLA film school not to mention having a genius IQ. But he became a drunk, which is guaranteed to be super-alienating to any normal sober person.
His fellow rock stars who are highlighted here were into drinking and drugs too except for Frank Zappa. Janis and Lou were even on heroine like Jim. There was more going on with Jim though and it was like he was operating in black-out mode much of the time.
@@websurfer5772 I read Nobody Here Gets Out Alive and there’s no doubt that he was super fucked up to the nth degree. But I’m an alcoholic too so there’s a sort of inevitability to all of that. Although heroin is less toxic in some ways than alcohol it’s too easy to over-dose.
@@marcmeinzer8859 I read _Nobody Here Gets Out Alive_ too, a long time ago. I remember liking it.
That's interesting about heroin VS alcohol. I'm in so much pain every day I wish I could drink and use heroin now but my body can't handle any of that at all.
I can't do pharma either though and I think the former is better for most people than the latter.
At least I have the green. One thing about that is I can't OD on it no matter how hard I try.
Uh, you got the Manson / Dennis Wilson thing mixed up. Dennis was completely into Manson. He thought he was the next big thing and tried to promote him. I don’t ever remember reading that Jim Morrison was involved. He may have been, but Dennis was the guy who was Manson’s buddy
Thought this part was off as well. Like, didnt Dennis loan Manson a car and let him stay at one of his home's? Hell the Beach Boys recorded a Manson song or two.
@ You’re not wrong. The robot is, though. So much for AI
Jim Morrison, and The Doors, were on the bleeding edge of popular American music. Other popular contemporary bands could make bigger chart hits, but in the end, served corporate interests, safe and predictable, or theatrical. The haters were threatened, defeated. Hendrix understood this and played on, admirable.
Jim Morrison died in a nightclub restroom stall and his body was brought back to his hotel room.
Never been confirmed, just a theory
@pulsarlights2825 not a theory, there's a documentary about it and people that were there that night witnessed the whole thing, people that knew him personally. If you want to believe the beautiful, romantic and peaceful way he died like in the movie than be my guess. Truth is Jim became just another junkie at the end and met his maker just like any other junkie, No disrespect to Jim, RIP
@@dirkdiggler2430 Is there hard evidence to backup that narrative or is is just hearsay? I don't care what Jim did or did not do. Just because there was a documentary it doesn't mean it's fact. It might be true, but it also might not, it was 53 years ago..
I have my own theory:
In the days/weeks before his death, Jim was having bouts of severe hiccups, and had coughed up blood.
Alcohol causes acid in the stomach. Acid leads to stomach ulcers and to acid reflux. Acid reflux causes hiccups.
In one account I read in one of the biographies, Jim was taken from the bar, unconscious, to the apartment. He was put in the tub, and Pam tended to him. Jim vomited blood several times, and Pam kept changing the water.
I believe Jim died from blood loss and/or trauma due to a ruptured stomach ulcer.
I'm not ruling out that heroin may have played a role, but I believe alcohol, leading to ulcers, is the main culprit. Maybe heroin alleviated the pain, keeping him from calling an ambulance.
@@johnstorton Jim abused himself to the point he had major health issues at only 27. I wonder what his blood pressure was in the weeks before his death....
Right Plant. Like Jimmy was never high onstage..
Lol..
The Lizard King was a crazy cat that ate too much acid and drank too much alcohol that probably affected his career in a negative way.
Jim seen through the corporate bullshit and sabotaged his career because of it
In an interview with Grace Slick , the member of the Jefferson Airplane said that they were doing an outdoor music festival in Amsterdam and when out and about walking the streets that people would come up to them and give them all sorts of substances. She said that the difference between thenn the members of the Airplane and Jim Morrison is that they would just take a liittle bit of what they were given but Morrison would ingest it all!
So what's new
but his feet did touch the earth. maybe he was disappointed as such, believing he was stained. idk. something spiritual was definitely guiding him, but that's not always a beacon of light. there have been many who fell by the wayside listening to destructive other-worldly voices.
Ya think?
One of the greatest bands of all time!
Janis knocking him out twice with a bottle was amusing. JM was often an idiot for sure but when you get that much adulation and attention so young it has the potential to be toxic. Sad for him he never got to mature as a person and artist but he remains one of the most enigmatic and charismatic figures in rock history.
You know everyone’s quick too hate on and take down people like Jim Morrison and other musicians who were “self-destructive “but I rarely find people putting these icons behavior into the context of the times. The 60s was a very intense volatile period. A lot of people started off with hope and optimism that we could really get together and change things just with the power of love and community and creativity only to see the entire thing crumble before them. You can sit there blaming the drugs and the counterculture and whatever but the truth is the powers that be had a very strong and coordinated effort to stop any of those things from happening. they started the decade off with a liberal president who showed great promise in bringing about real change and then watched as Our government blew his head off in front of everybody and then proceeded to murder his brother several years later also in front of everyone. They invented a fake incident to start an unjust war which sent thousands of young American men(and even more Vietnamese) unwillingly to their deaths. Then they elected one of the most evil vicious people to the presidency who went on to use the issue of drugs to criminalize and murder any group that was trying to bring about social change, marking a new era of conservatism, violence and corporate greed. Could these figures “self-destructive behavior “ not be a sign of the spirit that was slowly dying?!?
In the early 1990s I was running recovery groups in Hollywood, CA. In one of the groups was an actor who was under contract with Disney. He knew Jim Morrison. He said that Morrison was a train wreck waiting to happen. When he said that Morrison died he said he had expected it. He was an emotional and psychological mess.
Thanks for telling us.
It’s “ASKED” not “AXED”
Thsnks for sharing
Wow.. I never knew any of this. Very informing. Well done.
It’s crazy all three of them died at 27 😮
Not at all, it was planned
I agree very strange ☄️
The Doors are my all time favorite Band. They are the Band that made me want to play music. Jim Morrison was the ultimate Front man.
As much as people saw what was a difficult person on the outside, he must have been really hurting on the inside to drink and drug that much. It seems to me Jim self medicated as a way to get relief. Sad story.
Who knows but if the rumors are true that he got sexually molested when he was a kid it would explain a lot & it didn't help that his own father pretty much said he can't sing & he's trash
Zappa is an academic who played rock ‘n’ roll because being a composer didn’t work out for him
How about a more positive video on him next time instead of highlighting idiots who had attitude problems about him?
I believe Jim had a gift that he couldn't quite understand. Self-destruction is a real MO for these brilliant types. RIP Jim, you are missed.
I always liked his baritone - no other singers from his era had that approach - but I’ve always thought he was hugely overrated as a “poet”
Eri. Burdon.
@@susangirardi3655 Okay, only two singers from that era with that approach
I'd rather listen to The Doors over Lou Reed & Velvet Underground anytime. Morrison could sing circles around Reed's sorry excuse he calls his singing
Morrison and I would have gotten along perfectly.
I love the Doors they are on my top 5 favorite bands
Mine too.
Too bad. WAY overrated.
@David music is subjective and no it’s not too bad that I know what I like. What kind of person takes the time to tell someone they are wrong about what should or shouldn’t be their favorite music? Hopefully as you get a little older and mature you will find some wisdom
Charles Manson was not a serial killer
But he was the master mind behind it...
Not many people are aware that shortly before he died, Jim Morrison was involved in starting a beginners driving school based upon the time tested techniques of Neil Cassady.
Check your Dennis Wilson facts. He LOVED Charles Manson so much so that the Manson family lived in his house. Wilson also took one of his songs. He talked about Manson like a poet guru to everyone he knew.
At first. Dennis had to abandon his home because he couldn't get them to leave.
@gypsydavy708 That is true.
This guy is off on a lot of his facts in this video
Jimmy Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin all rolling together on the floor of the same stage unable to get up is eerily prophetic and poetic...that's IF....it really happened.
Is there footage of this?
Forget Morrison, who the hell is your pharmacist? What utter tripe!
“Axed about him”
Yeah what an idiot
I love the Doors, Jim sang like an angry Frank Sinatra. Great stuff. Too bad Jim was so messed up on drugs and alcohol but that was more acceptable back in those days. Today it wouldn't go over well.
"So there I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopowner and his son... that's a different story altogether. I had to beat them to death with their own shoes. Nasty business, really. But, sure enough, I got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show.
" -Del Preston 😂
When he was axed?
I’m blame Courtney Love for Jim’s death.
😂 but I straight up do blame her for Kurt’s. Anyone who doubts this -watch Soaked In Bleach.
Such a embarrassing and inaccurate video. Seems like ppl just make fast food videos nowadays without any actual research
Dennis Wilson was the guy that presented and was friend of Charles Manson ( until he found out how dark was the soul of the guy ) ..
It probably got very dark after his musical sessions were denied
‼️Robert Plant really LIKES Jim & Quotes Morrison on stage OFTEN‼️
Fact🩸
Aside from the guys in his band, it seems most musicians didn't have many good things to say about him.
Alcohol had his demons. Heroin had his death knoll. Sad story for a talented guy...
Cocaine killed him.
Dennis, Jimi and Jannis had valid reasons, the rest were just mad that ANOTHER ego maniac was getting attention, simple as that
In the case of Dennis Wilson, even though he had a similar "passive/aggressive", rebellious personality to Jim, he had it drilled into his head by his dad, Murry from a young teen, just like the Gibbs, the Jacksons, and the Osmonds father, to have respect for the fans who pay good money to see him perform. So when Dennis saw Jim disrespect the fans. it must have triggered those lessons and his dad came out on Morrison!
I always got the impression that Jim was desperate to be as cool as Eric Burdon.

The indian spirit that came into him during witnessing the car accident affected him. Look at some of his indian style dances in some of his concerts.

More likely Jack Daniel's spirit that was affecting him.
Lol! Indeed!!
The day Morrison met Morrison was epic.
He fought himself with his bare fists and won. And lost. It was epic.
Manson wasn't a serial killer.
David Crosby was ironically right about Morrison . He was an aloof self destructive git .
Most artists who didn't like Morrison were JEALOUS, and weren't as successful as him
Every other artist mentioned here was/is more successful than Morrison bud
Lol jealous of mediocre poetry or what?
"aksed" ? .. axed from YT would be more appropriate
Lou Reed and Frank Zappa are also pretentious.
Not anymore.
Morrison was just another egotistical celeb. They're all that way, pretty much. The only variation is how well they manage to hide it and/or how well the media covers it up for them.
The part about Morrison and Manson? They never met. Maybe appeared in a book somewhere.
Also, Janis didn’t use the bottle of Southern Comfort at the Scene Club. Jim jumped off stage into the front row where Janis was sitting. She said “if only that mofo could sing, I wouldn’t mind”.
whoops! I just made a similar comment re: Morrison and Manson. Oh well - it bears repeating.
Nicholas Shreck, (He has a channel) developed a friendship with Manson, while Manson was incarcerated for the Tate Bianca/Bianca killings. Manson told Shreck that he new Morrison. Also making some very unusual claims about Morrison. Now I wasn't there a but Manson had quite a few friends in the music scene. Jimmy Dore did a vid on this recently, regarding Manson's acquaintances in the 60s music scene. Again, I'm just repeating what I've read but it was very easy at that time for people to hang out with people in that scene. In fact as a result of the Manson murders the celebs closed off from the plebs, fearing for their lives. There are a lot of varying perspective on this whole thing but it is an interesting topic.
@@captainape6807 Everybody knew him or at least heard of him
@@deanl0 Yes and for the most part seemed to like him, going by accounts. Brian Wilson had hundreds of hours of tapes of Manson, according to some.
Really wish Pamela Courson/Morrison would have gotten things together enough, lived long enough, to dispel all the rumors, and tell her side of the story of what happened. She was in that apartment, for those last few hours of Mr. Morrison’s life, to know what really happened. Whether it was only those two, in that apartment, don’t know. Or whether he was brought there, on death’s door, from the Rock n’ Roll Circus club, don’t know. Sadly, in the time of need, Ms. Morrison was the last person to take charge. She could barely take care of herself, let alone Jim. My guess is, in her later years, she was so unhealthy, so distraught with guilt, that even if she wrote that definitive account, of what went happened, probably nobody would have believed her anyway. There is not even much definitive accounts of her own last few months, of her life. She took everything with her, to her own grave. I guess, there are some questions that are never meant to be answered. Maybe instead of rumors, and guessing, let them both spend eternity in peace?
Jim Morrisons cool...hey, that's the life of a rockstar baby!...even though Jim wanted to be a poet first
Not altogether surprising that Dennis Wilson "hasn't spoken about Morrison ever since," as, unfortunately, Dennis Wilson drowned in 1983.
The AI voice is unbearable.
